@NikolasFuturist @JordanKallman I guess if you get it, you get it. If you don't, then *shrug.* It *is* all about the culture. I need to write this piece on how all these past culture trends collided to enable web3.
@eth_barcelona @MrScottMeyer @taykendesign @misterreynolds @IdentityWoman @kate_sills @kayaelle @provenauthority @kimdhamilton With all due respect grasshopper, I’ve been blazing the path for balanced insights about alt currencies, blockchain, digital identity and payment transactions for over a decade. You could do your research beyond the hyped multi-k followers. Student travels to the hermit master.
I am excited to announce @idpro_org diversity and inclusion package to attend #Identiverse made possible by our IDPro members. Deadline for submission is June 7. Answer these short questions for consideration. Got questions? Just ask. https://idpro.org/announcing-idpros-diversity-inclusion-packages-for-identiverse-2022/ #identity #DEI
I love driving your car @ronmichael. Vroom vroom apexing the curves up to Morongo and accelerating out of problems into the desert hinterlands of our hermitage. 💕💕💕 Pure pleasure and you and sushi are the destination.
At what point do I start billing my clients for my sleepless nights? Hey, at least I get to see my friend Venus.
Dawn breaks, from the orange stripe on the eastern horizon, bright planets overhead, showcasing the sunlight about to stream over my head. Birds awake & I stand quietly, hoping to see bighorn or bobcats come down from the nearby mountains of barren rock. #hermitlife
Is it cheesecake and sushi for 6am breakfast if you have already been up for hours?

My greatest achievement is changing my local climate to support this most recent hatchling flock of 15 baby chicks. The gamble quail mother and father are very proud. ps. it's 100+ every day this week.
I love schedule send. That is all.
Yes, but can humans become conscious?
This human dreams of rescue dogs.
@mike_kernell Yes, until they do it poorly with more resources and make the world a worse place.
Is web4 like that weird half floor from Being John Malkovich? Or is web5 the 1.0 release of the web3 MVP, because the MVPs concept has ruined real product development? Will web9 be where these aspirational ideas get really built? What happened to webvan & http://pets.com?
When will web3 (& the web at all) stop being dominated by male thinking & perspectives (even when expressed by women)? Will webN every have a mutualism perspective instead of the hyper neo-liberal world view? Let me get my stompy boots & watch the web burn like IRL is.

Some times things take forever. Other times, you complete a month's worth of things in a week.
Nothing like a 2 hour conversation about the nature of reality in the middle of your day. Actually, I rather like discussing the nature of reality and subjective vs objective truth.
@rightfuture Subjectively yes.

Home after 10 days of traveling - a normal trip in the beforetimes. While it’s hard to come home to 100+ degree heat, I am happy with the comforts of the dome, my espresso and the wildlife. What calm from the storm of the world.
@dgwbirch @kristinayasuda Yes! That's the worry. And then there are the major gaps in the mDL v1. And lots of uncertainty around what will actually get into any v2 descriptions.
@kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch I've read the ISO mDL standard. It's so MVP version 1 it hurts. The concern is that something so early stage is not attempting to even interoperate or collaborate with other emerging standards. It's a potential vendor lock in scenario, where the losers are real human beings.
@kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch We *have* to do better. We *have* to develop better interoperable standards that reduce human suffering, not increase capitalist market share. It's fine to make money. But it shouldn't be fine to hurt the most vulnerable with our poorly designed & executed technology systems.
@kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch I'm not saying anyone sets out to design systems to increase human suffering. I think it's an unintended consequence because we're focusing on other incentives. So please consider putting a little attention on the vulnerable human experience. ☮️ 🫶 🪪
@IDIMAndrew @dgwbirch @kristinayasuda I really hope they do! I truly do! But I am disheartened by the whole process of the way so called standards are created. I want to believe, but first I have to take this knife out of my back.
Amazing to believe I've been listening to Little Fluffy Clouds for almost 30 years. Return to a beautiful memory over and over again. ☁️ 🌈 ✨
@IDIMAndrew @kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch I realize this is a weird way to frame this, but it's important. The way we implement identity systems results in increased or decreased human suffering. @WomeninID has a wonderful report (code of conduct research) that describes human suffering due to identity systems.
@IDIMAndrew @kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch @WomeninID We need to realize that *our* decisions have consequences on other humans & if at all possible, we should be kinder and gentler in our implementations (but still keep it as secure as possible.) I know, an impossible task.
@IdentityWoman @niels_klomp @kristinayasuda @dgwbirch W wish these were done in the open, but even standards done in the "open" have their own problems. W3C is as much a gatekeeper. Better to face the reality that things are developed wherever including proprietary systems. How to move forward using the best of all possibilities?
@niels_klomp @kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch LOL point taken. SSI community will never have consensus of any kind. The moment someone doesn't like one aspect of an SSI standard they will go start another "standards" org. Woo-hoo! Welcome to the decentralized web!!!!11!
@kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch IDK, every time someone brings up ... what about [ ]? the answer is always, we'll do it in the next rev. I get the reason that is the answer, but also I am gonna call it what it looks like to me. MVP aspirational. There are complete sections, like provisioning, that are missing.
@IDIMAndrew @niels_klomp @IdentityWoman @kristinayasuda @dgwbirch I don't think it's evil, it's just a v1. That is a good start and also needs more work.
@IDIMAndrew @IdentityWoman @kristinayasuda @dgwbirch FWIW, I do think there is a legitimate desire to work together and figure it out, it's just that it's hard. TBH I have yet to see a standards body pay attention to standards they are not creating, which means everyone can improve on collaborating in the ecosystem here.
@IDIMAndrew @kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch @WomeninID There are inherent beliefs and constraints embedded in standards & technology protocols (& well, everything!). I'm not saying Apple is better, or anyone's is better. I'm asking us to do better by thinking about this. IDK, maybe it's too much to ask. Suffering is universal.
@niels_klomp @kristinayasuda @IdentityWoman @dgwbirch 🤣🤣🤣❤️
@IDIMAndrew @niels_klomp @IdentityWoman @kristinayasuda @dgwbirch Right. I know. I can still complain about how it is though, can't I? I mean, what else does one do about standards? It's not Game of Standards for nothing!
@ballyn Yes Indeed!
